Documents

Documents are how you work with real texts in Immersive — news articles, stories, notes from class, anything. Bring a text in and the reader turns it into a study surface: tap to translate, tap to listen, with inline aids that help you understand more than you thought you could. Or start from a blank page and write, with correction and coaching built in.

Reading

Import a text — paste it, upload a file (text, Markdown, or PDF), or photograph a page — and Immersive splits it into words and sentences you can interact with:

  • Tap a word or sentence to see its translation; tap again to hear it read aloud.
  • Reading aids mark the places worth a hint: words you can guess from context, words that are safe to skip, and words with lookalikes in the languages you already know.
  • Read to me plays the document aloud while the current sentence is highlighted, at normal or slow speed.

Everything you translate collects in your Vocabulary, and the entries you mark as Saved there can be added to a deck later.

See Reading documents.

Writing

The editor gives you a clean page, light formatting, and help on demand:

  • Ask for a topic if you need an idea.
  • Ask the Coach for feedback and explanations, in your own language.
  • Submit your text with Correct to get corrections with explanations, alternative phrasings, and a CEFR estimate of your writing level — then apply the corrected text back to the document.
  • Use the assistant’s Rewrite and Tone tools to see a passage one level above your own, or your whole draft rewritten for a situation (“a formal email to my landlord”).

See Writing documents.

The Library

The Documents page also shows the Library: curated texts provided by Immersive, with a level and word count for each, so there is always something to read at your level. Reading a library document works like reading your own; if you start editing one, you get your own copy and the original stays untouched.

Your documents, organised

Your own documents are listed on the Documents page, searchable, with folders shown as you accumulate them — breadcrumbs at the top keep track of where you are. Documents keep an edit history: past versions are saved before each edit, import, or applied correction, and can be compared and restored.
